Easy Guitar Licks That Sound Advanced! (Part 5)

hey everybody what's going on hey do you feel like playing guitar today because i figure i think i went up [Music] i think i'm gonna play some guitar so i hope you're all having a fantastic day out there welcome back oh wrong volume knob one day i'll get that right welcome back to another part of this little series i've been doing for years at this point easy licks that sound advanced and i thought i had a couple elixir i was like you know i feel like if i if i heard these i wouldn't and like instinctually know that these were as simple to play as they are so if you want the tabs they will be down below i also have the tabs in the video for you and if you want to you can subscribe and i post these lessons all the time and if you haven't yet make sure you enter the dan electro 59 giveaway that i'm doing right now on the channel it's linked down below in the description so let's go late number one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right so let's break this down now what's nice about it is it's the same shape as that it's actually a shape i use all the time in my own playing but it's just the same shape over and over again now what it is is real nice and slow as this okay so that's all that it is except real simple straightforward now i'm viewing this as somebody an e minor lick i'm kind of navigating through the e minor scale but keeping the pattern the same so what i'm doing is i'm going to play 8 on the b seven on the g and then five on the d now you can feel free to use your pinky if you want to pinky uh pinky ring pointer [Music] i tend to do this because i also like to go you know get this other kind of like random note in there sometimes but i'm not doing that today so um if this is a hard stretch for you use your pinky now all i do is i take this shape and i shift it up in the scale so now i'm going to play 10 on the b then i'm going to go to 9 on the g and 7 on the d okay and these are basically power chords it's really if you want to like break it down what we're doing here we're just doing power chords this is just an extra uh fifth that are on top the root whatever it is so we have that okay so i'm going to shift up again i'm up here on 13 so i'm going to go 13 12 10. again notice how the shape never changes it's a very universal shape i'm not sure who i got this from but maybe like i don't know eric johnson or nuno or someone like that [Music] okay then i'm gonna go up here to the final one which is 15 14 12. to me this is very eric johnson if i was like [Applause] you know i had that eric johnson vibe too so i'm gonna go 15 14 12 like i said and then i just do a full step bend on that 15 on the b to end it out of the vibrato if you feel like it so all together [Music] overall pretty simple pretty easy one look number two [Music] there we go maybe not that little tag line at the end but the first part of the lick is the lick that we're talking about here and this actually comes from a solo to one of those little intro jams i did a while back and people were asking me like well what is that little like pull-off open look that you were doing and it's super eddie van halen inspired even though it doesn't really sound like an eddie lick it's who i got the idea from so when you're in the key of b think about it your open b string is a great string to play because well you're in the key of b and there's also a lot of strings that are available think about you have an e note player open e you have a g note i'm sorry that's an a note player open a you know you have all these different notes available to you [Music] why not use them open so i'm starting off with like a very traditional uh style of blues like intro so i'm just going to bend that nine of the g up a full step except don't bend it flat like i just did [Music] now i'm gonna go to seven on the b and the high e string okay just real quick ben now here's where the pull off like happens i'm gonna go seven pull off to open on the b the nine on the g okay and i go to ten again i'm using my ring finger it's just because i like to bend with these fingers but if you wanna use your pinky feel free to you know there's nothing wrong with that okay so i go 7 12 open and then 9 on the g 10 pull up open on the b and then back that nine on the g now i do this whole thing twice i go okay now the little ending of each section is slightly different so i have okay so i ended here and i go seven pull up open on the beat and then i go to nine on the g and pull off the open okay so there you go and that's the first half of it [Music] okay now the next part is a little bit trickier because we have to roll our finger but that part they're even just going [Music] you could move around on your pentatonic scale all day long and it gives you a really really cool and slightly different sound than your stock kind of pentatonic licks now this one like i said is a little bit trickier because you have the bar with your index finger so i'm going to go seven pull up open again the notes that we're playing on the b string don't change i'm only changing the single note that's on the g so i'm gonna go seven pull up open and then i go to seven on the g okay ten pull off open on the beat seven on the g okay so i do that twice okay now the little ending here as i go seven pull up open and then seven pull up open on the g so i can do it on the b and then the g and i ended on that ninth fret on the d so way up right there and there's like number two just a fun one you know slide that look around [Music] there you have it and the final one here is kind of a spin off of like a very paul gilbert inspired like you know if you've learned any paul gilbert string skipping stuff you've seen this you know that style of string skip that he does all the time well what i like to do sometimes is that is a straight up c major you know root third fifth root third so which sounds really cool i like that sound but i like to do a lot of just like add chords or suspended chords something like that so what i do a lot of times is i feel like it sounds you know complex because of those large intervals but it's really really simple and i i guess it'd be oh what is that that's your third root there's your four and basically your third so it's an ad 11 i think it's a c ad 11 chord [Music] do lots of different variations with if you want to you know kind of make it that'd be like a normal sus too so um all i'm doing here and the picking is the trickiest part because you have to bounce around the b string you're going straight from the high e to the g so that's that's kind of the hard part of the whole thing but once you get it it's not that bad so you're going to go 12 pull up to 8 on the high e string i go to the g and it's 10 9 10. [Applause] okay and then back to that eight now let me explain the picking here because i'm picking two of the three notes on that g so i go okay so i pick the ten and i pick the nine and i hammer back on to ten i'm gonna go to that eight okay so that's how you get a little bit more of an aggressive sound i could do all pull off i want to hear that it's not as defined you know that's really where you need that extra pick and there's that second one like i said pretty pretty straightforward but you can take this idea put it in your pen and top you know as i play it totally wrong but that's the idea and there you guys have it did you dig it did you make it all the way through the lesson easy licks that sound advanced yo we're rocking it hope you all had a good day with a good time good day hope you had a good time with today's lesson if you made it here to the end uh prs pentatonic that's right hashtag prs pentatonic so i'll see you all later like i said before make sure you enter that dan electro giveaway and yeah i'll be seeing you all later oh you know what also there might be a sale coming up on my guitar courses i haven't decided yet maybe just a heads up if there is all right i'll see you guys [Music]
